F*ck!
Darryl was dumbfounded, thinking that he must have misheard it.
'Is that how she asked for my help to rid the evil spirits in her? Such arrogance!'
Darryl smiled faintly. Then, he nodded and said, "Okay." He walked forward and sat cross-legged across from Xenia.
Then, he stole another look at Xenia's charming curve.
Xenia bit her lips so hard that they almost bled. She felt ashamed and angry; she growled, "Darryl, this is your last warning. You'd better help me do that properly and best not have any other ideas in your head. Don't you dare to look at me as well!"
"Xenia, you are being difficult. How am I supposed to help you get rid of the evil spirits if I don't look at you? Would it not be even more embarrassing if I were to touch the wrong place?"
"Stop talking and start now!"
"How can you be so fierce when you need my help?"
"You—"
Pitter-patter…
Suddenly, they heard footsteps nearby as they bickered.
The footsteps were soft, but they sounded like many people!
F*ck!
Darryl's heart skipped a beat when he heard the footsteps. 'How could this happen so coincidentally? I'm just about to help Xenia to get rid of the evil spirits in her body. If they see us, they might misunderstand me again.'
The equally flustered Xenia bit her lips tightly.
'My dress is now soaked in cold sweat, and the fabric is stuck onto my body. I can't be seen in that embarrassing state!'
"Yennie!"
Just as Xenia was nervous, she heard a gentle voice from the woods. "Let's go over to those rocks to have a look. The terrain is higher over; maybe we'll find Xenia!"
The voice was soft and crisp. It was Sadie, one of the Nine Saint Oracles.
